Dear Ethiopian:
The jockying of power and accessing of resource are in its full gear of exercising within the Northern people while the southern leading oppoisiton group namely OLF, ONLF and AFL are warming up the palace of l'homme malade du Corne de L'Afrique, Isays. That is to say, the southern opposition group are in the wrong palace at the wrong time and they shoul not be with the man who is considered in Horn Africa as the wreath of earth and watching unfolding in from of them the power sharing of Northern people.
Somali saying goes" Truth will not kill you, but it will scare you". I am sure that many of you are in the state of surprise that your opposition group are warming up the palace of Ethiopia with Meles in order to get a power seat. In the past, we have said that when the dust settles and emotion disappears, the truth will rise its beautiful head and face you and your kind with facts and evidences.
Today, CUD/UEDF expressed publicly that they are after power and do not have any clear and inclusive programme that will adress the need of ethiopian people.
Moreover, we are appealing to all Ethiopian namely the majority of Ethiopian people Oromo, Somali, Afar and Kambelas to name a few and work with Meles and other opposition group camp from the northern who are in the first place work on how to share your resources. They have done in the past and are repeating the same historical game again and again. This is the time we, southern people, need VJ to hire as lobbyist and ask to immplement his approach to bargain the power sharing; otherwise, three scenario will be foretell.
First, a coalition of EPRDF and CUD/UEDF will be making and govern the country. This is desastrous for the majority of Ethiopian people. Meles will replace the former Dawit, Genet and the mayor of Addis with Betroys, Haile Shawal, and Merrara. He will rule the next five years.
Second, EPRDF will dominate and CUD/UEDF will confine in Addis Abeba and one by one will be eliminated while EPRDF beat the drum that Amhara ghost with Ali Goshu is coming back and Ethiopia will be heading to doomday.
Third, the EU, USA, Arab League and AU will force Meles to include OLF, ONLF , KLF and ALF. Mr. Meles who is very good at selling its achievement to the international community of being the man who introduce democratic system, multi parties and rule of Law will go to the storage of strategy and tactic of 1995 and bring the rosy window dressing that will alow economic power to the southern and keep the political power in the hand of EPRDF. In addition, Meles will govern, widening the difference gap and pit the CUD/UEDF with OLF/ONLF/KLF/ALF in order to pass bills in the parlaiment.
. This will help him to overcome the current crisis and also allow him to rule Ethiopia in the next five. In retrospect, he will prepare him to field his EPRDF candidate in the next coming election.
All in all the same broken CD will be played which has the follwoing songs: the song of the week will be that EPRDF is the savior and guard Ethiopia from the invisible hand of opposition group, the second one will be CUD/UEDF will steal Article 39, the third one will be OLF and ONLF will be painted as asual with big brush that these organizations are in the path of terrorism ( which is not true, but will help Meles to gain the money from Bush ) and the fourth song will be Ethiopia embarks on democratic system, rule of law and multi partie( this will be only target as consumer to the Western World) Gebre and Ibrahim will entertain this song.

Ibrahim,
I like your analysis better than most.

There is no need of analysis of coalition government when it is unacceptable.

VJ,

I think may be there is something you understand that I do not in Ibrahims email. I cannot make the head and tail of it. I cannot say for example, if he is supporting or rejecting Meles?

One thing I think I understand is that he does not like UCD and UEDF to form an interim government with EPRDF. May be you can shed light on what Dr. Ibrahim is saying? I really mean it. May be i am the moron who lacks an ability to understand an articulated view, if Ibrahim's view can be said atriculate. Shed light on the confusion.
